Disparities in heat-related illnesses by race and socioeconomic status have also been documented [19, 20]. Urban populations are increasingly vulnerable to the health impacts of heat as the interplay between climate change and the broader urbanization of the planet creates conditions that intensify ...

The primary objective of unwinding heat sickness involves lowering the body’s temperature. Many of the procedures are rudimentary: Cold fluids are administered with IVs, replenishing severely dehydrated bodies. Emergency responders and hospitals across the country have also become accustomed to putti...
